The reaction represents photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll, react to form glucose and oxygen. This process is how plants produce energy in the form of glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
glucose + oxygen = energy + carbon dioxide + water
Production of Glucose in Plants
Water Carbon dioxide Energy in the form of ATP
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O Tip: It's easy to remember how to balance it... 666.. Oxygen + Glucose = Carbon Dioxide + Water Oxygen and Glucose = Need Carbon Dioxide = Waste Products (ATP = Universal Energy Currency)
The formula represents the chemical reaction of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) react in the presence of energy (light) to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and release oxygen. This process is vital for plants to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Oxygen and glucose undergo a process called cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This reaction releases ATP, which provides energy for the cell to carry out its functions.
Cellular respiration is the breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water. The reaction is glucose plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide plus water (C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O)
